Scallion Oil Noodles

Scallion Oil Noodles is a fragrant and savory vegan dish that showcases the vibrant flavor of scallions infused in oil. This simple yet satisfying meal combines silky noodles with rich scallion oil for a delightful experience.

Ingredients

• Fresh scallions - 100 grams
• Vegetable oil - 4 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Noodles (e.g., wheat or rice noodles) - 200 grams
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Chili flakes (optional) - 1 teaspoon

Steps

1. Chop the scallions into small pieces, separating the green parts from the white parts.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the white parts of the scallions, minced garlic, and grated ginger to the oil, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the sesame oil, soy sauce, and black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
4. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 4-6 minutes.
5. Once the noodles are cooked, drain and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained noodles with the scallion oil mixture. Toss well to coat all the noodles evenly.
7. Add the green parts of the scallions and chili flakes (if using) to the noodles. Toss again and taste for seasoning, adjusting with more salt or soy sauce if needed.
8. Serve the scallion oil noodles warm, garnished with additional scallions if desired.
